Graceful Motoring?

Two cars have intrigued me for a while, the Vel Satis and the Avantime.  There's one of the latter on my street, so I decided it would have to be today's blip.

It looks typically quirky in the French style, but I've never read any reviews about it – whether it was a good car to own, or a lemon.  The seating looks luxurious, it's automatic and I bet the suspension is great for UK roads, if the roads don't break it, of course.

And I'm sure a Dutch review would be useful: listen to the rhythmic Dutch and see the car from different angles.
